ing to look another way Well, you
may be sure Sister Mary, | felt un-
common bad about that letter, and
so sits dowr. and writes to your
John to ask about you, andthis here
letter is his answer. don't know
Just how | come to send it back to
you but I'm a wife myself, and
when my old man gets stirred up to
say something like this to me, why
| know it does me good all over

I've made up my mind to try il ON
you, and if I'm doing wrong, | hope
you'll both forgive me, as | know
you will Your sister.

And the letter she enclosed? 1t
was perhaps the longest letter John
Silver had ever written in his life,
for he was poor hand ut writing
letters, as he would have told him
self but it flooded his wife's life
with the sunshine for which she had
been pining. 1t gave aest to her
work. 1t sweetcncd her rest
brought color to her checks and
light to her eyes. You'll think
maybe that Mary was poor silly
thing to care so much for such Il
commonplace letter, but here it is
"DEAR SlsrER-IN-LAW: Your let
ter has taken me all aback. The
The idea that my Mary could ever
get sick and die Just makes Il baby
of me, and u sick baby at that.
Now | come to think Of it, She is a
long sight whittier and thinner than
She used to be, but thought it was
because we were both getting older
You women has sharper eyes Car
olinc Coles may be right may the
Lord help me. You know what
Mary is, the sweetest creature He
ever made just havin her in my
house has made me happy man
for fifteen years, and if I've got to
lose her, why, want you to ask the
Lord please to take me and the chill
dren, too. Tell Him can't stand it
and no more can't Your aficc-
tionate brother. JOIN SILVER.
don't think John ever began to
understand what it was in this letter
that made such change in his wife,
but hcdid make out that what she
needed to keep her bright and happy
was a little ofthe old time 'loverin',' .
and after this working together" of
Providence and Sister Sue. there
came a great change over John He
might be awkward and clumsy, his
grammar might he at fault but,
in one form or another. he always
managed to give Mary hcr share of
daily sunshine.

see him, She lived right around the

City Sewerage.

DR.. Hagan, Health Officer, will in
clude the following in his annual re-
port:
We would have given our views on
this important subject, but for the fact
that two of the most distinguished
sanitary engineers in the United
States were employed to aid our local
engineers in giving us a grand and
complete system OF sewerage. And
the prudence and foresight OF the City
Council in adopting this system, the
grandest of all works OF the city, is a
source of congratulation to our citi-
zens. This sanitary measure will add
to Ethe health and longevity of the
people.
The old sewer system is vastly more
extensive than most persons think for.
But very few citizens are aware that
the city is already provided with
twelve miles of good sewers. The
area partially supplied extends from
Alameda to Pearl street, and north of
Seventh including the business part
Of the city.

REPUBLICAN: The Interstate
have already CON-
menced their labors. As many points
in the law were left To their discretion,
we hope they will use it with caution,
and not so hamper the roads so as to
force high tariff on long hauls. The
new schedule made since the passage
of the law, raises freight from 80 to
70 cents per hundred pounds from
eastern points to Idaho. Maintenance
of these high freights will depend
largely upon the action of the Co :
missioners. In a"y event, the law
can result in no benefit to US in the
west. 49,. 1t is reported that Cy Jacobs
will erect 10-stamp quartz mill in
Boise City this summer. There is
plenty of ore in the hills near this
place to keep the mill running all the
year rou d, aud without doubt the
mill will be good investment.
